all the other newspapers were presenting IA
vorable but delusive accounts of the princes
condition, 1t was my duty to warn you that
there was the gravest cause for anxiety. The
present access of the disease came on at the
beginning of last week. Morrell Mackenzie
receives report every day from the English
doctor left in charge of the patient. On
Wednesday the crown princess sent for him.
He started directly after some urgent cases

science can do little more than watch
the course of the malady and seize
every opportunity of allcviatng the pain.
There might be long stages between the out
break of cancerous growth or might come
with violence accompanied by much infiam-
nation. The latter appears to be the case at
present. 1t is deserving of remark that one
man, has never from the first, concealed his
opinion of the true nature of the disease;
never hesitated to declare it was incurable,
namely, Prof. Won Bergman, one of the chief
physicians of the German court. Morcll
Mckenzie and Prof. Vcrchow took hopeful
view but Mckenzie always guaoded himself
against any expression of opinion concerning
the disease itself. His business has been to
relieve and, if possible, cure In any
issue he will be much attacked but
it was not in the power of man to do more.
The resources of science applicable to such
Affections were soon exhausted and the
CroWn prince quickly perceived this. | be
lieve that ne never has been under miscon-
Ception regarding his condition. His wife,
Princess Victoria, has buoyed him up and
thus his constant depression has been miti-
gated. IT is no secret that the prince does
not believe he will recover and the failure of
efforts to arrest the disease for more than a
few weeks at time, probably induces him
to give up the idea of trying to protect life
by the sad penalty of exile and a return to
Berlin. This is his wish and he only hcsi-
tated indulglng it from desire to satisfy his
wife and family that nothing was left undone
TO promote his recovery
A heavier blow could not descend upon the
home rule party than the death of Lord VOL
verton. From him have come most Of the
sinews of war during the last two elections.
For time they were immense. He had no
son and was prepared to spend money like
water for the benefit of his party in election
cering. Since Gladstones defeat in 1885, he
is believed to have expended E20O,000. Be
sides this he supported a number of provin-
cial papers and opened his purse freely to inn
pecunous but useful members of the
party. There are men whose services
on the platform and elsewhere cannot
well be dispensed with but who are not
able to get along without pecuniary help,
Lord Wolverton always came to the rescue.
AS to who will take his place, there is only
Lord Roseberry who is rich enough TO do it,
He is believed to have found the money for
Gladstone's first Midlothian campaign, and
heard it stated that he put down e5O,0oO for
the last election, But Lord Roseberry's
money is not strictly his own, and the Roths-
childs are too shrewd to make themselves
avowed political partisans. Their policy is
to remain good friends with both sides. They
may not respond to hints from Hawarden
quite as readily as Lord Wolverton. The
stroke must in any case be severely
felt. The winter campaign will be
conducted without Lord Wolverton's money,
with Lord Roseberry partially invalided and
with Lord Spencer abroad. Undoubtedly
fortune and the fates favor the conservatives
Rt this moment. The approaching retirement
of LORD Landsdowne from the office Of gov
ernor general of Canada will give rise to
many rumors as to his successor The latest
is that Lord Dunravcn will be appointed. l
can at least state that down to the present
moment Lord Dunraven had heard nothing
of it, Had he not have resigned from the
ministry soon after Lord Randolph, he might
have stood better chance of being asked,
but doubt whether he would have accepted
the offer.
The secrets of the cabinet councils are be
ing well kept this year, but some things
leak out. 1t may be taken fOI
granted that no important changes in
the ministry have been decided on, although
the sudden appearance tonight at the Carl
ton club Of Lord Randolph Churchill gave
rise to good many rumors. 1t may also bt
repeated that no scheme of the Irish lanC
purchase has been adopted and almost any
scheme which may be submitted will NEE
with much opposition from the conservativ,
ranks if it must involve state aid. To tina
the conservatives, as body, are opposed
This question will be a very dangerous one t
handle.
Mr. Darwin's son has been managing tn,
business details of the publication of hi
fathers life, and he seems t,
have made u pretty mess o
1t through some bun Cling mistake
which was fallen into with the American
publishers, which will cause Il fortnight
delay in the appearance of the work. Then
French barrster was allowed to publish a re
view and analysis of the work before tn
whole was in type. The Pail Mall Gazett
gets a hold of this review and translates
few passages of Darwin's letters back int
English. But this pigeon English bears n
resemblance TO Darwin's, which evcrybod
has seen. When the book comes forth il wi
leave Murray's establishment. Indeed, tn
last pages even now, are not printed. | ma
say Darwins letters are of the deepest inter
est, although they throw no new light on tn
theory of evolution. Many person
appealed to him for his opinio
rs to the possibility of reconcilin
his principles with belief in God. Iii
reply generally came TO this; ''There
nothing in my principles which conflict wit
such belief although l cannot undertake
reconcile them with mans ordinary concel
tion of God" Frequently he refers to certai
well-known gaps or faults in his theory an
appears to have been inclined more than one
TO partially agree with Professor Wall an
others that some doctrine of special nterfe
